China tax is a lot of baloney Apr. 21, 2011
When Donald Trump threated China with a 25% import

The View From The Grass Roots is
a compilation of the syndicated columns of award-winning
columnist Gregory J. Rummo, showcasing his deftly
written commentaries upon a variety of issues both
national and personal. His wit, wisdom and ruminations
range from the deaf culture and what it's like to raise
a deaf son, to environmental ills such as global
warming, to the 2000 Presidential Election and the
September 11 attacks. Confidently recommended reading, The View from the
Grass Roots is filled from cover to cover with keen
insights, profound thoughts, and a deep and diverse
understanding of the human condition.”
-Midwest Book Review
"Greg Rummo knows how to drive the
liberals nuts. His pithy columns on a wide variety of
subjects are anchored on the facts, and his opinions are
intellectually honest and stimulating. It's hard to wage
an opposing argument against a guy who knows the
subject, his position and how to get it across through
strong writing."
-Dan Mc Donough, Jr., Deputy Editorial Page Editor,
The Courier-Post
American culture in the 1990s. Witty, humorous, poignant and informative.
“The
student of American culture, the patriot with
red-white-and-blue blood, the parent with typical
frustrations and challenges of parenthood—all of them
will enjoy and be moved by Gregory Rummo’s collection of
columns in The View from the Grass Roots.”
-Don Wildmon, President, American Family Association
"Sharply written. A lot of people will find it fun reading. Rummo's writing is provocative. Conservatives will find him entertaining, and liberals will be left with plenty of food for thought."
-Lisa Haddock, former Religion Editor, The Record
“By
approaching the latest public issues from the angle of
religion, informed by Christianity, Gregory Rummo offers
an attractive corrective to the assumptions often
underlying coverage of stories in mainstream print
media.
—Charles Saydah, Letters to the Editor, The Record
